Sorry, a triple negation is above my head.  "relative paths in env
aren't insane" == "using relative paths is OK" and you are not
convinced that it is the case, so you are saying that you think
relative paths in env is not something that is sensible?

Yeah.  In any case, there is a potential regression but the chance
is miniscule---the user has to have been using a relative path that
begins with a double-quote in the environment or in alternates file.
